Although X Fighters! is a series that had its humble beginnings rooted in story elements from the LEGO Ninjago series back in 2012, it is a piece of fiction that has drifted farther from its starting point over time, introducing more original themes and characters over the years. The full story of X Fighters! is an original one, barring its initial inspirations.

About a century ago, a certain monk became one with the world's mysterious flow of energy, creating the Great Pillar of Light and rising to the status of God himself. With other Gods on the horizon and more groups wishing to seize the power for themselves since, X Fighters was created. Annihilating evil, wherever it may lurk. That, was the organization's duty. On Earth, Team Shinobi begins its training in the place where it all started, the Forbidden Island, dealing with the fallout of the monk's actions and the various enemies that were born as a result...

After a decade and three fully animated seasons, X Fighters! is shifting to a visual novel format. Seasons 4 and 5 are currently in simultaneous production and have gone from the outlining phase to the scripting phase.
